(Possibly) unsafe for work
Not since posting the photo of my gigantic blister have I felt compelled to warn you about an image on family-friendly No Meat Athlete being unsafe for work. And really, if something as tame as this PETA ad were unsafe for my work, I wouldn't be working there for very long. You [...]

No Run Today
I went to bed last night with a pretty good feeling that today's scheduled 20-miler wasn't going to happen. Pretty soon after I finished writing yesterday, I crashed. I got really cold and lost all my energy.
In fact, since Erin was busy, we just ordered pizza for dinner. On a Sunday! My balls-to-the-wall [...]
Acquired Tastes
One Week Without Coffee
It's Wednesday, and that means it's been a full week since I last drank (caffeinated) coffee! Today I had some decaf in the french press, but I'm realizing that decaf coffee doesn't do it for me. I think it tastes the same as regular, but drinking it isn't fun for me. [...]
The Moderation Trap
In the spirit of my little break from cooking this week, Erin and I went to a Thai restaurant last night. Erin grew up in a really small town and she has this thing about old-fashioned good service, so whenever she has car trouble we need to drive 45 miles to the only guy in [...]
Michael Pollan In Baltimore
It's not every day you get to hear the leader of a revolution speak, so when my friend Jan told me that Michael Pollan would be speaking at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore on Saturday night, I knew that I had to go (thanks Jan, for coming with me). I've mentioned Michael Pollan [...]
Honoring the Protein
I'm not much of a TV watcher, especially when it's reality TV. But one show that I've found myself making a point to watch ever since I discovered it two seasons ago is Top Chef. It's like any other reality show, with contestants competing and being voted off by the judges, but I find it [...]
I Shouldn't Be Eating This, But…
What a terrible way to live–not being able to eat the foods you love without your conscience ruining the fun. The sheer misery of living like this is the simple reason why diets don’t work. We start them with every intention of sticking to them, and as we begin to get results we allow just [...]
Junk Food Isn't Healthy; Health Food Isn't Healthy
I've realized that there are two types of bad diets. The first is the kind that I see every single week in the grocery store checkout line, where the perpetrator is either completely oblivious or just doesn't care about the fact that what he's eating wouldn't have passed as food a hundred years ago. This [...]
Just the (Nutrition) Facts, Ma'am
If you showed up today expecting recipe number two from Italian Week, I apologize. It was supposed to be pasta e fagioli (pasta and bean soup), but I totally botched it! Remember how I said I used to be known for one kitchen disaster with every meal? Last night's disaster was forgetting that pasta e [...]
No More Fishing?
I've been thinking pretty hard in the last few days about giving up fish, about whether I should become a "real" vegetarian. After all, the blog is called No Meat Athlete. I suppose I could justify my fish-eating by saying that "no meat" is an ideal that I'm hoping to achieve one day, but it's [...]
Hi there, I'm Matt. I went vegetarian last March, and almost immediately I became a much stronger runner. I recently qualified for the Boston Marathon; now it's on to my first 50-miler!
